THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY CITIZENS ASSOcIA.
TON NO. 3 SENT TO THE COMMISSION.
The resolutions In relation to the erection OF tel
egraph and telephone poles in the city, unani.
mously adopted at recent meeting OF Citizens
Association No. 8, have been transmitted to the
'"That we protest against the granting OF per.
mtts by the District authorities for the erection
quest the Commissioners to take steps for the re-
m0val OF the poles recently erected In East WASH
ington by the telephone company; that the policy
that no more poles should be erected within the
city, and Of having the wires put under
nediase steps be taken To- enforce SAID policy
authorities have heretofore run wires for public
which the citizens consent until they can be
placed under ground), we consider that the poles
now being erected do not constitute new line or
are necessary for public use mere pretense,
and without foundation in fact; that, tnasmuch
as these telephone and telegraph companies are
sSe se Of ass for and have
without paying cent therefor; and inasmuch as
a large sum has been recently taken from the Dis
public use under ground, it is but simple Justice
that these private companies should be compelled
to place theirs under ground Also and that within
specined time; that the secretary be directed to
transmit copy OF these resolutions to the Dis.
trict commissioners forthwith, and that a copy
One Hundred and that they be requested to take
action on the same"
Commissioner Ludlow stated to-day, in refer
ence TO the matter, that it would be a very good
thing to have the wires placed underground but
that the Commissioners have no authority TO COM
pei It. The people should secure legislation by
Congress-.
